Jimmy / Mt Strata –

Thanks again for your helpful advice!  We will take the suggested action.

You raise a valid point about the EC – and indeed we believe that is the reason why a number of them will not “approve” the decision to issue the Notice. Interestingly, they didn’t “disapprove”, they just chose not to reply. I wonder if this can count as an approval by omission..?

In any case, looks like Fair Trading is the next logical step. Thanks, and I may be back pending the results 🙂

Hi guys, I'm back again!

Our Strata manager attempted to get a Notice To Comply sent… apparently there IS an executive committee, but only 1 (out of 3 of them) approved the decision, and since this isn't a majority, he won't issue it. Whether or not he can do it regardless of this, he won't say. We don't believe the other 2 will come to the party either.

This leads me to the next question – what is the next step? Can we just leap frog Strat and go to CTTT, do we have reasonable grounds? I understand the other EC members don't want to be a part of it because it doesn't affect them, but it's affecting us on a daily basis.

Thanks again 🙂

Hi guys

 

We contacted our strata managing agent, who informed the owner of the property (and the rental manager) that the tenants were in parking us in. We were happy with this outcome as a first stage resolution process. However, the problem continues to persist.

 

We have requested to our strata manager that a Notice to Comply is issued. However, he says that this is ONLY possible at a general meeting with ALL the owners. Is this correct? We believe he is being slack and stalling on this matter, to avoid having to do anything.

 

We do not want to involve all the owners since it is not their problem and doesn't affect them. Additionally, only half the units are owner-occupied, and we do not believe there is any Executive Committee either. Are we not able to directly request a Notice to Comply, considering we have direct evidence (i.e., photographs) of their continual breach of the by-law?

 

What is the procedure to follow, to request a CTTT involvement (can they issue the notice?).

 

many thanks again, and we loved the SMH article on the original post!
